‘we never planned really to sign him’: Edu opens up on Arsenal summer signing

Arsenal completed a deadline-day deal to sign Raheem Sterling on loan from Chelsea.

The 29-year-old had fallen down the pecking order at the London club and he needed to leave them in order to play regularly.

Meanwhile, Arsenal sporting director Edu Gaspar has now reflected on the signing and revealed that the Gunners did not plan to sign the England international winger initially, and it was an opportunistic move. He added that Sterling has plenty of experience and he has won major trophies throughout his career.
